One of the best Italian restaurants on the island. The food is spectacular and fresh, the staff goes above and beyond and the owners - when not running around working are so welcoming and accommodating. Highly recommend.

One of the most nicest Italian restaurant’s I have ever been to. Awesome service and lovely bar hostess named Melissa. Not to mention the atmosphere being very cozy and great food quality. They always do what you ask. Always remember who you are ♥️

Extremely disappointing dinner last night. If not for the penne marinara which was excellent, this would have been 2 stars at best. The meal started with good sesame Italian bread served with butter. Very surprised olive oil wasn't on the table or even offered. We got eggplant parm, veal Parm and penne marinara. Note the proteins are served without pasta as every dish is family style and a la carte. It is nice they offer single and large portion options. But that's where the good ended except for the service. Because of the family style it gets expensive for two people but is more reasonable for large groups.The portions were good but the sauce on the eggplant and veal was extremely bland. There was no apparent seasoning except for the soapy aftertaste. The eggplant was cooked ok but the veal was difficult to cut and was way overcooked. It had the texture of cardboard.We were so disappointed we didn't want to risk getting dessert.The service was good but slow. Tables were left unbussed for 15 minutes after they were vacated. The staff was very friendly but seemed overwhelmed as it was extremely busy.There are way better options in this area so we do not plan to return.

Best food in town and Lucas was the best ! His recommendations were awesome!
Frank who sat us was very friendly, Lucas or waiter was wonderful, Brian or Busboy was friendly & helpful (almost like a waiter) we came for the entertainment, which was incredible (Long Island Accordion Showcase) & the food was delicious. Well be back 1st wed of the new year when they play again.

A very nice Italian restaurant in East Northport with two sides to choose from, one is with white table cloth, and the other side is more casual tables. Came here for a birthday party with 7 people and had a great time. The server was friendly and the food is family style. We enjoyed everything we ate. Prices are decent and pacing for the meal also worked well, each course came out one after the other and quantity was plenty. The neighborhood talks highly of this place, and now with Vespa gone I hope they receive more customers who want great Italian food. 4 stars, nice for family gatherings and friday dinner dates.

Service was just ok. Food was below-average/average and extremely overpriced. Cost a family of four $180 before tip. That's with a 4 and 6 year old. Kids menu is just pasta or chicken fingers. Will not be going back.

My favorite Italian restaurant on the Island. The staff is super friendly and accommodating and the food is to die for! Frank, the owner and chef, is an absolute culinary magician. You must try the La Vallini sauce, which comes with the fried Calamari.I would strongly recommend that you also try the chicken wings (dry seasoned to perfection), the seafood salad, the seafood croquettas, the Veal Scaparellla, and Veal Milanesa. The Chicken Parmigiana and Chicken Marsala are also very solid.Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian dishes.Parking: There is a free lot in the shopping center.Kid-friendliness: This is a family restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair parking and wheelchair accommodations.
Classic New York Italian food at its best. Had the linguine with white clam sauce which was to die for, however, their linguine with a simple tomato sauce was beyond delicious.

We have dined at La Villini on numerous occasions and the food is always outstanding. On Friday we had dinner and we were fortunate enough to have Dan as our server. We had our two young talkative kids with us. Most servers elsewhere do not pay a lot of attention to our kids at dinner. Dan was interested in their crazy stories and went out of his way to make sure they were taken care of and felt welcome. Thank you Dan for making our evening with our kids! Much appreciated. The food was also out of this world!

We attended a lovely family party today at La Villini with approximately 50 people. I so appreciate that with no advance notice they were able to handle my dietary restrictions with grace and professionalism. The food was fresh and delicious, and served hot. My gluten free penne was cooked Al dente and it was served with a perfectly seasoned marinara. The green salad was crispy and my broiled sole was delicious. Everyone else enjoyed the planned menu, especially the calamari and chicken wing appetizers, the penne with vodka cheese sauce and chicken and eggplant parmigiana. Thanks for great service, we will be back!
Food is delicious. Usually do take
